Five-degree-of-freedom high-speed parallel robot
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the field of robot design, and particularly relates to a five-degree-of-freedom high-speed parallel robot.
Background
The parallel robot is widely applied to industries such as food, medicine, daily chemicals and electronics, and is mainly used for procedures such as packaging and sorting. The traditional Delta parallel robot has only four degrees of freedom, namely: the four degrees of freedom limit the application field of the parallel robot in a small application scene, and large-scale automatic production cannot be realized in a plurality of production lines.
PIERROT et al propose an H4 parallel mechanism with four sets of upper and lower arms, two moving platforms (US20090019960 and EP1084802) which eliminates the fourth axis of the Delta linkage, uses relative movement of the four sets of upper and lower arms to achieve rotational movement about a vertical axis, and still has four degrees of freedom. The moving platform of the mechanism is complex in structure and is not beneficial to smooth operation.
